Dance partners Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev feature in this programme of short works, performed to a mixture of electronic music, English traditional folk music and Portuguese fado. Natalia, previously a principal dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet and who has been a guest artist with the Mariinsky Ballet here partners with Ivan Vasiliev, last seen at the Coliseum in March as part of the Kings of the Dance season. Included in the programme are two world premieres including a new work by Arthur Pita called Facada, danced to music by Frank Moon, Phil King and the traditional urban folk music of Portugal.

London Coliseum is a magnificent historic building and an excellent venue in which to enjoy the soaring sounds and high drama of some truly thrilling operas. This impressive theatre, which started its life as a venue for variety shows, is now - conversely - indistinguishable from its artistically first-class company in residence, the English National Opera.
